three main adaptive features in desert plant
Answers
Desert plants have developed three main adaptive strategies: succulence, drought tolerance and drought avoidance. Each of these is a different but effective suite of adaptations for prospering under conditions that would kill plants from other regions.
Main adaptive features in desert plant:
1) Some Desert Plants Have Deep Roots. Desert plants like the mesquite have deep taproots that reach down to the water table to reach water.
2) Fleshy Roots. The roots of plants that grow in arid conditions are often fleshy and thick, as the roots store moisture and nutrition, allowing the plant to survive dry conditions.
3) Shallow and Horizontal Roots. Many succulents, such as saguaro, have extensive shallow roots systems that grow horizontally rather than vertically.
